Been playing a shitload of Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. Been enjoying it but holy shit it is hard. As in, “it’s like an arcade rail shooter but way longer” hard.

Since I’m at a wall on the Stage 6 Infant Keeper boss, I’ve been doing random stage select BS. I can almost consistently 1CC Stage 1. Stage 2 is somewhat easier just because it doesn’t have a bitchy endboss like Stage 1.

Stage 3 is weird. I didn’t like sidescrollers with railgun aiming when I played S&P1 Stage 3-2, I don’t like it now. Then you go into a tunnel and it’s like those parts of StarBlade where you have to shoot doors, only you dodge doors instead of dodging them. I think I got to the endboss once, and timing counters is like trying to AAA something in IIDX.

I’ll probably finish the game the credit feeder way later.
